23 Certain Retirement Accounts Deposits owned by one participant in certain retirement accounts Coverage: up to $250,000 for certain retirement accounts Most common type of account in this category - IRA Insurance coverage for retirement accounts is not increased by naming beneficiaries

26 Revocable Trusts Types PODITFATF INFORMAL Payable-on-Death (POD) accounts or other similar terms such as “ITF” (In- Trust-For) or “ATF” (As-Trustee-For) FORMAL Living Trust Family Trust

27 What Category Am I Covered Under? Common misunderstanding: Single account with beneficiaries? Joint account with beneficiaries? An individual or jointly owned account with beneficiaries is an informal revocable trust deposit!*

28 Irrevocable Trust Accounts Irrevocable trust may be created through: – Death of grantor of revocable living trust – Execution of irrevocable trust agreement – Statute or court order Irrevocable means that the grantor (person who created trust) does not possess power to terminate or revoke trust Insurance Coverage usually no more than $100,000 for the trust

29 Business/Organization Accounts Coverage is $100,000 for: – Corporations – Partnerships – Unincorporated Associations Must be an actual legal entity engaged in an independent activity

30 Government/Public Unit Accounts Insurance coverage provided to each “official custodian” of each public unit or political subdivision Deposit in a bank in same state: – $100,000 for all time and savings deposits – $100,000 for all demand deposits Deposit in a bank in different state: – $100,000 for all deposits

33 Additional Concepts & Fundamentals Fiduciary Accounts Death of an Account Owner or Beneficiary Bank Merger Bank Failure

34 Fiduciary Accounts Agent Nominee Guardian Custodian Executor Escrow Broker Attorney trust (IOLTA) Title company Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA) Funds deposited by:Examples:  Bank’s account records must disclose the fiduciary relationship in the account title  Bank’s account records or fiduciary’s records must disclose owner’s identity and interest

35 Death of an Account Owner Death of an account owner will in most cases reduce the amount of insurance coverage However, FDIC provides a six month grace period, during which the account will be insured as if the account owner had not died

36 Beneficiary’s Death Six-month grace period does not apply Immediately reduces the deposit insurance coverage for an informal revocable trust account

37 Insurance Coverage after a Bank Merger Separate insurance for six months Separate insurance for CDs issued by the former bank until maturity

38 FDIC pays depositors “as soon as possible” (historically within next business day) FDIC pays 100% on the dollar for all insured deposits Depositors with brokered deposits will take longer to recover their insured funds Depositors with uninsured deposits may recover a portion of their uninsured funds Insurance Coverage after a Bank Failure
